mitt romney lied in the debate. the only truthful thing he said in the entire debate was he had five sons who live. the truth does not fall far from the tree. mitt romney should not be doing as well as he is. the only reason is because we have a bunch of right-wing white supremacist confederates, not conservatives, confederates who only want to see the black man out of office. this man has done his very level best to make this country -- charlie hurtet respond. guest: that is an astonishing and sad thing to hear. i covered president obama four years ago and was one of those reporters -- i believe to a lot of what he said. i thought he was a very promising new kind of figure who changed the tone of washington. he did not change the tone of washington. he did not make good on any of the promises he made coming into the white house. also remember for the first two years of his presidency, he had a huge majority in the house of democrats. he had a huge majority in the senate. at one point, it was even filibuster-proof.

romney so eloquently said in that debate. talking about politics of the 1% or the 47%, conservatives want the best for all folks, and yes, we mean we don't want them trapped in poverty. we want them married, paying their taxes -- host: we will get katrina vanden heuvel's response. guest: yeah. listen, if marriage will promote the well-being of the couple, children, great. but in my mind, it is and not just that. that is too simplistic. it is part of the equation. without good jobs, without ensuring that workers have rights at a time when big business is so powerful, without doing small things that happened around this country but have taken too much effort, giving women, families early child care, the sense of a community coming together to lift up families, marriage is not sufficient. to reduce it to that is too simplistic. no one is saying marriage isn't important. it is not the only a factor in building a family that is doing well. the fact that jobs to date are low-paying is a terrible problem, and i would link this to th

[laughter] this is an area of great concern to the world, america in particular, which is to see the complete change in the structure and environment in the middle east with the arab spring came a great deal of hope that there would be changed for more moderation, an opportunity for greater percent -- greater participation on the part of women and the public life and economic life in the middle east, but instead, there are a number of disturbing events. we see 30,000 civilians in syria killed by the military. in libya, we see an attack apparently by, i think we know now, terrorist against our people, four people dead, our hearts and minds go to them. the northern part of molly has been taken over by al qaeda type individuals. we have a muslim brotherhood president in egypt -- muslim brotherh

guest: governor romney covered his face on that. he gave a debate in september. he gave one of the best explanations i have heard about why the same-sex marriage issue will not wind up as a state-by- state issue and why you have to have a national outcome one way or the other. .e has run as a pro-lifer rick santorum benefited from his social conservatism, a romney covered his tracks and came about just as socially conservative as rick santorum. host: if you want to talk to mr. bell about this issue and his book, give us a call. i have a twitter question for you from the urban politico. can social conservatives market themselves successfully? guest: i think so if they keep it on the basics of the issue. republicans do not want to have an argument over whether the contraceptive built should be legal. but it is an invasion of religious rights, what the hhs is telling the catholic church and others who disagree with contraception. furthermore, they include early term abortion and sterilization as items that have to be paid for by catholic organizations. if it is on t

i think americans should be very worried about mitt romney and paul ryan one thing to debate on that voucher. i have been to mexico. i am trying to understand what they are trying to do with that voucher. i think people should understand a voucher has a limited. if that limit of money runs out, especially old people, and young people should be thinking about it, because we are getting older, once that voucher runs out, people will start tasting a little bit of a third world thing. when you go to a doctor like in mexico or any other third world, doctors over there ask you first before they attend to you if you have insurance or money. if you don't have either, they will tell you to go back outside. that is very worrisome. to make another comment about the debt we have, people need to understand that started with republicans throughout the years before obama. no regulations on wall street. it's very worrisome. i think obama is doing the right thing trying to regulate especially on wall street, because wall street is a funding tunnel of getting money out of this country and not taxing t
